Podcast appearances and mentions of Alan Moore

For Father’s Day, we welcome Bro. Alan Moore from the Gideons International ministry in to the pulpit to share with us about their ministry and the impacts it has had around the world for decades.

En 1985 DC estaba publicando Crisis en tierras infinitas, donde con este evento buscaban darle un nuevo inicio a los personajes de la editorial. Mientras esto sucedía un editor decide darle un final a Superman antes de darle un nuevo inicio, por lo que con la escritura de Alan Moore y el dibujo de Curt Swan que había plasmado al hombre de acero y sus aventuras por más de 30 años, trajeron una historia sencilla, pero con mucho corazón para despedir tantos años de marcar a los lectores.

This week, Sara Lodge counts the ways that mathematics influenced writers from Byron to Trollope; and Russell Williams on the transformative power of rites and rituals.'The Number Sense of Nineteenth-Century British Literature', by Stefanie Markovits'The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic', by Alan Moore and Steve MooreProduced by Charlotte Pardy Hosted on Acast.

On this episode, we discuss a Swamp Thing story that we're surprised didn't qualify for our recently wrapped We're With the Banned miniseries on banned and challenged comics -- Rite of Spring from Saga of the Swamp Thing #34, as well as its sequel, Windfall from Saga of the Swamp Thing #43, by Alan Moore and various artists, published by DC Comics! First up, Abigail Cable finally professes her love for our sentient vegetable man. And in lieu of sexytimes, he offers her communion via a bite of one of the tubers growing on his body, sending her on a consciousness-altering trip that shows her the interconnectedness of all things. Next we meet Chester Williams, an affable hippie who finds one of Swamp Thing's discarded tubers in the bayou. Part of the yam finds its way to Sandy, a woman dying of cancer. Another part of it ends up with Chester's unpleasant acquaintance Milo, and … let's just say things don't work out very well for one of them. Like, does this mean Swampy and Abby are going out? Does the yam as a kind of cosmic litmus paper? Do kids today even know what litmus paper is? And are these two stories good enough to embark on that long, strange trip known as … The Comics Canon? In This Episode: ·       Curt's first experience with Rite of Spring ·       A little heads-up would be nice, Swampy ·       Kevin recounts an acid trip ·       We know what the ellipsis means … ·       The 1982 Swamp Thing movie ·       Have we mentioned our recent appearance on Marvel by the Month? ·       X-Men 97 ·       (We Could Be) Diving for Pearls from Swamp Thing #65 Join us in two weeks as we look ahead to the upcoming Superman movie by discussing (what else?) some stories about the super pets of the Silver Age!

O ano é 1986 e o inverno nuclear não é apenas uma teoria de extermínio da humanidade, mas uma possibilidade real que nem os antigos vigilantes estão livres. Enquanto isso, um sujeito morre em seu apartamento e uma bomba H humana - que viabilizou o Vietnã mais um território americano - cada vez mais se isola e aliena, deixando o temor e a frase "O fim está próximo" cada vez mais real. Essa é a premissa e o sentimento que encontramos nas páginas da obra prima dos quadrinhos Watchmen, com roteiro do sempre genial Alan Moore e arte de David Gibbons. Nesta primeira parte Andreia D'Oliveira, Gabi Idealli e Bruno Lagana fazem um apanhado geral da obra e discutem as três primeiras edições da minissérie de 12 partes. O que você está esperando? Vem ouvir! Comentado no episódio Livros em Cartaz 035 – V de Vingança Livros em Cartaz 055 – Para o homem que tem tudo

On today's episode, Brandon decides to jump into the time machine and re-share an episode from 2016. In it, Brandon quotes a passage from famed author Alan Moore and plays a Wayne Dyer clip to expand on the idea that language and art have the actual power and role of magic in our culture, starting with basic vocalizations that are encoded with divine meaning.   Care to play a game with the youniverse?

In the rush to build out AI applications, a full understanding of the dynamics of personal data management can be difficult to achieve. As we kick off Pride Month, the complexities of personal data handling deserve more attention and Emily Jasper and Alan Moore join host Eric Hanselman to discuss the concerns and approaches to address privacy issues. Enterprises accumulate both operational and self-reported personal data, some with regulatory requirements for collection and reporting and some in support of employee development. Is that data the new oil that can fuel their efforts, the new water that can leak or the new plutonium that can be powerful, but also dangerous?  With many systems accumulating data, it can be difficult to ensure that right data is in the right places. Data migration is hard, but can be necessary in technology transitions. Data is the raw material that builds AI value, but personal data increases the risks of not only expose, but of creating presumptions by AI models of association and affiliation. There are additional risks in inadequate datasets for training. As we've pointed out in previous episodes, organizations need to be aware of how well their training data reflects the populations they intend to serve.

Érico Assis é uma referência quando o assunto é HQ. Colega jornalista, desde 1999 que Érico se dedica à cobertura de histórias em quadrinhos. Já fez e faz muita coisa. Foi colunista do Omelete e do blog da Companhia das Letras, por exemplo. Hoje toca a newsletter Vira Página, uma das minhas favoritas – também vou deixar o link na descrição do episódio – e, dentre outras coisas, dá aulas tanto de tradução quanto de tradução específica de HQs. Sim, Érico também é tradutor. Ele que verteu para a nossa língua nomes como Alan Moore, Craig Thompson e Jeff Lemire, para citar alguns quadrinistas importantes, além de escritores como Chuck Palahniuk e Agatha Chistie. É uma conversa em que falamos muito sobre histórias em quadrinhos, claro, sobretudo aquelas que passam longe do universo dos super-heróis. Também papeamos um tanto sobre como é a vida de jornalistas que precisam empilhar trabalhos para conseguir pagar as contas e seguir mergulhados no mundo dos livros. * Aqui o caminho para a newsletter da Página Cinco: https://paginacinco.substack.com/ ** E a news do Érico: https://virapagina.substack.com/

Dallas and Anne sit down to discuss Alan Moore's time on Supreme!

Pues aquí está ya nuestro Moore de la temporada en este monográfico que va a tratar de abarcar una obra que desgraciadamente tal vez es más conocida por su accidentadísima andadura editorial y legal, que por su contenido. En 1982 y rescatando al viejo Marvelman británico, aparecía en las páginas de la revista Warrior, de la mano de un joven Alan Moore y Garry Leach el primer capítulo de esta historia que, tal vez por su errática publicación es menos conocida que otras obras como Watchmen o V de Vendetta, pero que para nada les va a la zaga y con las que tiene muchas cosas en común. Llegarían después otros dibujantes como Alan Davis, John Ridgway, Chuck Austen, Rick Veitch o John Totleben y la serie pasaría del Reino Unido a los USA en un caótico maremagnum de derechos que ha tardado décadas en solucionarse. Repasaremos punto por punto todo este asunto, pero tan solo como preliminar de contexto para una obra que por sí sola tiene muchísimo más que contar y de la que tal vez se ha hablado menos de lo que merece. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad. El aparato de aire acondicionado es un pedazo de chatarra que no podría enfriar ni una bebida aunque la metieras dentro.

Yes, the dreamer is the only one who knows what their dream means, and yet the dreamer also has profound blind spots about their own dreams. This is what I call the Dreamer’s Paradox.​ I talk about this idea and about my Treasure Hunt approach to dreamwork in this solo show which was originally released last summer. After the break, we take a comment from engineer Rick Kleffel saying that his favorite author Alan Moore often gets inspiration from his dreams. We are then joined by Steven E. Popp, host of KSQD’s “In The Garden” show, who comes on the air and tells us about a dream in which a huge feline, a cross between a lion and tiger, wreaks great havoc.

Just in time for the pod's 10th birthday, a bucket list guest for the show. We welcome, after two years of trying to line up schedules, Grant Morrison. When we started discussing doing the pod with Grant, it was Animal Man's 35th anniversary. It's now the 37th anniversary, but all that matters is finally having the chat. We talk about the book's creation back in 1988 during the first wave of the British Comics Invasion, when Grant, Gaiman, Milligan and McKean followed Alan Moore in working for DC. This leads to discussing the story that changed the book, issue 5's “The Coyote Gospel.” From there, it's talk about everything from B'Wanna Beast to The Red Bee, Captain Cold to The Inferior Five. That's all leading up to the Psycho Pirate, his trying to undo Crisis and the debut of characters like Overman and Sunshine Superman. And that culminates with looking at the end of Grant's time on the book, when Buddy travels through Limbo to meet … well, a fictionalized version of Grant, when gets to confront his creator about the death of his family and all the other bad stuff that has happened in these stories. There's lots of other stuff in our conversation including Swamp Thing, Sargon the Sorcerer, Doom Patrol, Batman, continuity, metafiction and of course Hypertime, where Grant explains the math behind the idea that most people didn't understand. As you may be able to tell during our chat, Animal Man was a very important book for me, it starting at the same time I was beginning college and being exposed to new ideas and writers like Borges. I'm so happy we were finally able to get this done and thanks to Grant's wife Kristan for all her help over the years trying to balance Trans-Atlantic schedules, natural disasters and various medical issues over that time. But we never gave up, so we hope you like probably one of my favorite episodes of the podcast's lifespan.

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz feature Gary D. Rhodes. He is a renowned film historian and author with a passion for uncovering the forgotten stories of horror cinema. He's a world expert on Bela Lugosi and Dracula, and will reveal the secrets of the tragic life story of this world-famous horror film legend. He will also talk about his book, "Weirdumentary: Ancient Aliens, Fallacious Prophecies, and Mysterious Monsters From 1970s Documentaries." The book unlocks the secrets of the strangest cinematic phenomenon of the 1970s. It's the ultimate guide to the bizarre, the unexplained, and the wildly entertaining films and television programs that blurred the line between fact and fantasy. "Weirdumentary" examines dozens of movies and TV series, sold to the unsuspecting public as documentaries, beginning with "Chariots of the Gods" (1970) and ending with "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow" (1981). Leonard Nimoy's "In Search Of" makes an appearance, and so does Orson Wells in his late-career role of sinister yet skeptical narrator. Although listeners to The Paracast know about their factual basis, many of these shows and movies featured spurious experts, questionable evidence, and low-budget dramatization. Acclaimed comic book artist, writer, and historian Stephen R. Bissette, best known for his groundbreaking work on DC Comics' "Swamp Thing" alongside Alan Moore, provides the foreword.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.

BEST OF: The 2024 MTV VMA was another example of a powerful religious-cult operating through entertainment to influence society. Taylor Swift was awarded Video of the Year, Sabrina Carpenter won Song of the Year, Katy Perry won the Vanguard Award and performed a gravity defying song, and Megan Thee Stallion performed Mamushi with Yuki Chiba. Swift has stayed in the news for her endorsement of Kamala Harris, and when winning her aware she thanked her boyfriend Travis Kelce who may also now be encouraged to endorse Harris - recall other were involved with ERAS-ERIS, the goddess of discord. But Taylor Swift isn't as powerful as she may seem, certainly not to make her own decisions. Not only has she called out the Soros family for stripping her of music rights but most of her music itself is written by someone else. Jack Antonoff was behind ‘Look What You Made Me Do', and countless other songs not to mention his work with Lana Del Rey, Aaron Dessner was behind Willow, and countless other songs, and both Max Martin and his protege Shellback contribute heavily to her discography. People like Martin have been operating in the music industry for decades, writing dozens of hits - 26 Number One hits - for everyone from the Backstreet Boys and Brittany Spears (Hit Me Baby One More Time), to Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift. Further, he obtains the lyrics and beats through a sort of channeling. Even Elton John does this through mixing word cutouts to write songs. In the world of comics we find an equivalent character in Alan Moore, a magician behind iconic works like V For Vendetta and Watchmen. Moore is also open about his worship of a Greco-Roman snake god named Glycon, a deity of oracle and moneymaking. The difference between obtaining influence from the MUSES or power from unconscious DEMONS is what the byproduct of the contract is: beauty or ugliness. The song Mamushi features the profaning of and degrading not of America but of Japan, as Thee Stallion encourages Japanese girls to be promiscuous and lure men to their death. In the song, Megan literally is naked on a rock like a Siren, in a sacred Onsen, where she then pollutes the purifying water and transforms into a Mamushi snake to kill a man. A 2023 song by Sabrina Carpenter was filmed in a church and her video was so perverse and disgusting the priests had to re-bless the altar when she left. These images are far different than the music, sculptures, and paintings of artists throughout history. Perry's VMA performance featured the arch of hysteria from witchcraft, a portal, and we assume from the other side came an alien who Sabrina Carpenter kissed on television. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

El verano de 1938 nació en las páginas de Action Cómics el considerado como primer superhéroe del cómic: Superman. Su éxito, inmediato y arrollador, abrió las puertas de un Olimpo pop al que fueron accediendo otros mitos contemporáneos que han sobrevivido al paso del tiempo y se han adaptado a otros formatos como Batman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman o Hulk.Antes, otros héroes habían aparecido en seriales radiofónicos y en publicaciones pulp: Tarzán, El Hombre enmascarado, Dick Tracy, Flash Gordon… Sin embargo, ninguno de ellos reunía las tres características canónicas que, a partir de El Hombre de Acero, tendrían los superhéroes: poderes sobrehumanos, doble identidad y un entorno urbano y reconocible por sus lectores.Los superhéroes, no obstante, tuvieron que enfrentarse a la censura promovida por sectores conservadores. Ni siquiera el patriotismo que personajes como el Capitán América mostraron durante la II Guerra Mundial rehabilitó a estos mitos, que hubieron de someterse durante mucho tiempo al Comics Code Authority.En plena Guerra Fría los superhéroes iniciarán un viaje hacia el realismo. La irrupción de creadores como Frank Miller o Alan Moore en los años 80 y 90 lo cambió todo. El primero, tiñó de noir las aventuras de Batman o de Daredevil. El segundo, con la creación de Watchmen, sentó a los superhéroes en el diván: también ellos podían ser corruptos e, incluso, un peligro para el mundo.Con guión de Alfredo Laín y realización de Miguel Ángel Coleto y Mayca Aguilera, Grandes superhéroes del cómic. Mitología y supervivencia, cuenta con la participación de tres grandes aficionados al cómic y a los superhéroes: el divulgador Antonio Monfort, autor de Secret Origin. Historia y evolución de los superhéroes; la periodista e investigadora Elisa McCausland, autora de Wonder Woman. El feminismo como superpoder; y el poeta Luis Alberto de Cuenca, autor de El héroe y sus máscaras.Escuchar audio

It's only been about 10 years since we read the first 5 issues of Alan Moore and Gene Ha's Top Ten, but now we're finishing the full first season with issues 6 through 12.  As the precinct deals with criminals on multiple fronts, there's one question on everyone's lips: What's Sergeant Dog Cop up to? Then we move onto Thunderbolts #17, which had a sword fight, an exploding castle, and a dude who can control gravity. Next Time - Superman: Secret Identity by Kurt Busiek & Stuart Immonen

First issues are hard. Last issues are hard. Second-to-last issues are hard. Maybe...all issues are hard? Book Club is back in session with creators Rick Quinn and Dave Chisholm, discussing Spectrum #5, the penultimate issue in their brilliant Mad Cave Studios series. With the end just around the corner (the final issue arrives in shops on May 21st, as does our final Book Club episode with Quinn and Chisholm, so mark your calendars), Spectrum #5 must elevate and explode a bunch of grandiose ideas about art that the comic has so far been teasing or suggesting. Spectrum #5 is a BIG comic following two central characters while traversing multiple timelines and encountering alternate-dimension stand-ins for iconic cultural figures and places from our world. Quinn and Chisholm might not say it, but we will: PBGBs is CBGBs, and Gloria Bell is Patti Smith. Half the pleasure of reading Spectrum is tracking their sci-fi alternatives of real-world legends, which recalls similar joys had when devouring Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. However, as Spectrum #5 ramps toward its fiery conclusion next month, the fervor with which Quinn and Chisholm explore vital artistry is the ultimate appeal. Why do humans sing? Why do they paint? Why do they tell stories to one another? During a moment when artistic expression is recklessly dismissed or downright eradicated, Spectrum #5 shows its readers how they're constantly engaged with creative expression and why only the most vile and pathetic people are detached from it. Last month's Spectrum Book Club was extremely process-heavy in its conversation. Now, for the penultimate issue, it's time to dig into the thematic weeds, have a serious chat about human connection, and worry not about labels of pretension. We're all friends here. Spectrum 1 - 5 are currently available from Mad Cave Studios, and the final issue will arrive in shops on April 21st.

Con un número de programa así, no podíamos no hablar de lo orígenes de la designación numérica del universo Marvel central. Claro, el Universo 616, ese donde pasan todas las historias principales (y algunas no tanto) de los comics. Con nuestro amigo Gus Casals repasamos los Orígenes Secretos de la numeración universal, surgidas en los comics de Captain Britain de la sucursal británica de Marvel, más los del propio superhéroe. Después, reseñamos la saga de principios y mediados de los 80s de Captain Britain "A Crooked World", donde se usa por primera vez la numeración. Un joven Alan Moore y un aún más joven Alan Davis, lejos todavía de sus éxitos en los EEUU, llevan adelante una épica de superhéroes y ciencia ficción, sacando unas diez páginas por mes, para sentar las bases de cosas que serían usadas por varias décadas más. Con música de The Clash, Depeche Mode, y Madness. Próximo programa: Magic Knigth Rayearth (Parte I) / TITANES: CLAMP.

Case and Jmike are joined by Doug Lief (from the Nostalgium Arcanum podcast) to talk about a family that's pretty super, The Incredibles!   Overview   In Podcast episode 142 of Men of Steel, hosts Case Aiken and Jmike Folson, alongside guest Doug Lief, delve into a comprehensive analysis of Disney's The Incredibles through the lens of Superman fandom. They explore the film's connections to other superhero media, notably its references to 60s Batman and Fleischer Superman, while debating the film's overall tone, which Case describes as having an 'angry' directorial voice. The discussion emphasizes Mr. Incredible as a Superman analog, revealing how his secret identity as Bob Parr reflects an average man grappling with superhero responsibilities amid family dynamics. The team draws parallels between the family members' powers and their roles, likening the villain Syndrome to a failed fan archetype obsessed with eliminating exceptionalism. Additionally, they analyze the film's aging animation, contextualize its place in the superhero genre before the rise of the MCU, and celebrate its blend of action and relatable family themes. The episode culminates in discussing the film's unresolved questions about the necessity of superheroes in society, concluding that it adeptly balances the extraordinary with the everyday.   Notes ‍️ Introduction and Context (01:12 - 15:47) Case Aiken and Jmike Folson host the Men of Steel podcast with guest Doug Lief The discussion focuses on Disney's The Incredibles (2004) from a Superman fan perspective Doug mentions the movie's connections to Watchmen and other superhero media The hosts establish that the film is a love letter to superheroes with influences from 60s Batman, James Bond, and Fleischer Superman Case acknowledges he likes but doesn't love the movie, finding it has an 'angry' directorial voice ‍️ Mr. Incredible as Superman Analog (15:47 - 24:52) The group analyzes Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr) as a Superman analog Bob Parr's name means 'average' - perfect for a secret identity His job at an insurance company creates dramatic irony (helping after harm vs. preventing it) The hosts discuss Mr. Incredible's durability, strength, and physical capabilities The film explores the tension between superhero responsibility and family obligations The 'Bob Parr' identity has real value to him beyond just being a disguise ‍‍‍ Family Dynamics and Powers (24:52 - 39:20) The Incredibles compared to Fantastic Four but with a nuclear family structure Each family member's powers serve as metaphors for their roles: Elastigirl must 'bend over backwards' for her family Violet wants to be invisible/blend in as a teenager Dash wants to show off and stand out with his speed Holly Hunter praised for her performance as Elastigirl The married couple dynamic shows mature flirtation and partnership Sarah Vowell's performance as Violet highlighted despite not being a professional actress Syndrome as Villain (39:20 - 54:00) Syndrome analyzed as Jimmy Olsen gone evil or fan-turned-Lex Luthor His character represents fandom and mediocrity wanting to eliminate specialness Syndrome observes and counters heroes' weaknesses but fails to examine his own His fatal flaw is wearing a cape, which Edna Mode had warned against The group discusses connections to Alan Moore's works (Watchmen and Captain Britain) Syndrome's robot compared to the squid from Watchmen's ending Brad Bird reportedly denies Watchmen influence despite many parallels Jack-Jack and Supporting Characters (54:00 - 01:03:00) Jack-Jack has godlike powers (17 documented in the sequel) Compared to Franklin Richards from Fantastic Four Jack-Jack helps defeat Syndrome at the end of the film Edna Mode (voiced by Brad Bird) praised as an excellent character Her role as the Q-like gadget designer who incorporates fashion The group discusses superhero costume design elements Frozone and his 'Where's my super suit?' scene mentioned Animation and Film Context (01:03:00 - 01:16:40) The film's animation shows its age (from 2004) but holds up well due to stylization Technical limitations discussed (water effects, foliage, crowds) The hosts note the film predates the MCU (2008) and Nolan's Batman (2005) The Incredibles came at a transition point for superhero cinema The movie successfully balances superhero action with relatable family dynamics Character designs discussed (Mr. Incredible's face based on a Roman helmet) Final Battle and Themes (01:16:40 - 01:26:47) The Omnidroid battle showcases the family working together effectively Team power moves highlight each character's abilities and their coordination The question of 'do we need superheroes?' explored through the final battle Dash's athletic participation at the end (coming in second) compared to Superman hiding his abilities The film doesn't fully resolve questions about exceptional people's place in society The ending shows balance between superhero and ordinary life is beneficial Conclusions and Wrap-Up (01:26:47 - 01:38:04) The Underminer appearance sets up the sequel and references Mole Man from Fantastic Four The hosts appreciate the film's commentary on superhero tropes ('you caught me monologuing') The movie works well as both a superhero film and a family story Discussion about how the film has aged and its historical context in superhero cinema Podcast information and social media contacts shared Recommendation for Books that Burn podcast from the Certain POV network

This bittersweet conversation offers valuable insights for advisors on team building, organizational growth, and embracing professional transitions with grace.

No todo en la vida es DC o Marvel, ni Dark Horse o Image. En diferentes décadas, el comic estadounidense (y a veces canadiense) tiene booms en donde surgen editoriales con breves auges, con publicaciones de nicho y a veces generales, donde hacen sus primeras armas creadores que luego serán importantes, o donde estrellas consagradas encuentran lugar para crear libremente. Hoy vamos a contarles las historias de las editoriales Aircel Publishing, AC Comics, Atlas/Seaboard Comics, Avatar Press, Blackthorne Publishing, y Malibu Comics. Solo dos de ellas siguen existiendo, y una publica solo reimpresiones. Una era una empresa que se dedicaba algo que no tenía nada que ver con los comics, el arte, o el entretenimiento, pero dio origen a una de las películas más exitosas de fines de los noventas. Otra bordea (a veces por dentro) el contenido fetichista. Hay una que es una venganza contra Marvel, y otra que se convirtió en la tercera en ventas en EEUU. Hay de todo, pero también hay curros, manejos turbios, y datos curiosos. Con música de The Lovepools, y Hole. Próximo programa: Marvel Tierra-616 / Captain Britain por Alan Moore y Alan Davis.

Case and Jmike are joined by Micah McCaw to assess the Symbolism Supreme in Alan Moore's Supreme Story of the Year.   Overview   In episode 141 of the Men of Steel podcast, hosts Case Aiken and Jmike Folson, alongside guest Micah McCaw, delve into Alan Moore's influential 12-issue run on Supreme, titled "Supreme: The Story of the Year." They highlight the comic's groundbreaking nature upon its release in the mid-90s, reimagining Supreme—a character initially created by Rob Liefeld and akin to Superman—by incorporating innovative storytelling techniques, such as in-universe “revisions” of the character and comments on comic book history. The discussion spans various aspects of the series, including its artistic evolution through different illustrators and the provocative themes surrounding superhero relationships and villains. Notably, the podcast emphasizes Moore's ability to blend humor with meta-narrative elements while maintaining continuity amidst complex plotlines, ultimately positioning Supreme as a celebrated reconstruction of traditional superhero narratives. As the hosts reflect on its significance, they recommend further explorations of Moore's work, ensuring listeners are left with a comprehensive appreciation for the series and its impact on the comic book landscape.   Notes Introduction to Supreme (00:50 - 11:43) Case Aiken and Jmike Folson host the Men of Steel podcast with guest Micah McCaw The episode discusses Alan Moore's 12-issue run on Supreme, also known as 'Supreme: The Story of the Year' The comic was published in 1995-1996 and was considered groundbreaking at the time Supreme is described as a thinly veiled Superman analog with similar powers and characteristics The hosts discuss how the book remained cutting edge for 20 years but now feels more commonplace ‍️ History of Supreme (11:43 - 25:55) Supreme was originally created by Rob Liefeld as part of Image Comics' launch Before Alan Moore, Supreme was an amoral, extremely powerful character (a Superman analog) Moore took over with issue #41 and completely reimagined the character The comic features regular flashbacks to different eras of comics, parodying Superman's timeline The art style shifts between contemporary and classic/retro depending on the time period shown Art and Creative Teams (25:55 - 35:04) Joe Bennett was the main artist, who would later work on Immortal Hulk Rick Veitch created the flashback sequences with distinct period-appropriate art styles Chris Sprouse joins as artist later in the run (only one issue in this collection) Alex Ross created promotional art and cover designs for Supreme The hosts note that the art quality is inconsistent throughout the series The Revision Concept (35:04 - 45:50) The comic introduces 'revisions' - an in-universe explanation for continuity changes Supreme visits the 'Supremacy' where all previous versions of himself exist after being revised out The concept explains why comic characters change over time The hosts discuss the meta-narrative of comics existing within a comics universe Ethan Crane (Supreme's alter ego) works as a comic artist in his civilian identity Supreme's Universe (45:50 - 57:54) The Citadel Supreme is Supreme's Fortress of Solitude equivalent The Allied Supremes of America is the Justice Society/Justice League analog Supreme has his own version of supporting characters like Lois Lane (Diana Dane) The book features extensive flashbacks to previous eras of comics history Issue #44 features EC Comics-style horror hosts challenging superheroes, explaining why heroes fell out of favor Supernatural Elements (57:54 - 01:06:50) Supreme's origin involves exposure to a radioactive meteor (Supremium) The League of Infinity includes heroes from throughout time periods including Achilles, Bill Hickok, and Aladdin The book includes various dimensions including the Hell of Mirrors and Amolinth (a photo world) The creative use of Supreme's powers includes his 'consciousness expanding' rather than using telescopic vision Goral the Living Galaxy serves as a Galactus-type cosmic entity Relationships and Romance (01:06:50 - 01:17:03) Issue #50 explores Supreme's dating life and potential relationships Three scenarios show why relationships don't work for superheroes: domestication, exploitation, or conflict Diana Dane is positioned as Supreme's potential love interest The issue offers meta-commentary on why superheroes rarely maintain stable relationships Chris Sprouse's art in this issue is praised as superior to earlier issues Villains and Antagonists (01:17:03 - 01:26:08) Darius Dax is Supreme's Lex Luthor equivalent and main antagonist The comic features various counterparts to Superman's rogues gallery Shadow Supreme serves as a negative version of the hero Optilux is a living light being with significant powers The heroes face challenges they can't simply punch their way through ⏳ Time Loop Concept (01:26:08 - 01:36:03) The comic features a time loop where Darius Dax becomes the meteor that gives Supreme his powers Supreme sees his past self, creating a stable time loop The hosts note that while time loops are common now, this was innovative in the mid-90s The League of Infinity adds to the time travel elements The hosts discuss how Moore keeps continuity coherent despite complex timeline issues Meta-Commentary (01:36:04 - 01:45:32) The comic constantly references and comments on comics history Characters discuss the structure of comic books while living in one The book reconstructs superhero tropes rather than deconstructing them (unlike Watchmen) Alan Moore is described as being on an 'apology tour' for how Watchmen changed comics The series acknowledges and pokes fun at comic book conventions while embracing them Final Plot Developments (01:45:32 - 01:54:22) Judy Jordan and her 'granddaughter' Hilda visit Citadel Supreme The drawing created by Hilda is revealed to be part of Darius Dax's plan Dax transfers his consciousness into Judy's body through nano-dust Supreme is trapped in the Hell of Mirrors as Dax takes control of the Citadel The plot twist reveals the 'child's drawing' had been a Chekhov's gun throughout the series Conclusion and Reflections (01:54:22 - 02:11:44) The hosts discuss the significance of Supreme in comics history The comic is positioned as a reconstruction of Superman after the deconstruction era The series is praised for its humor, creativity, and meta-approach to comics The hosts recommend other Alan Moore works like Tom Strong The podcast ends with contact information for the hosts and guest Micah McCaw

Alan Moore first gained recognition in the 1980s with his work for the comic 2000 AD, and DC Comic's Swamp Thing. He went on to create Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Batman: The Killing Joke, From Hell, an extraordinary take on the Jack the Ripper story, and The League of Extraordinary Gentleman.  He's often been at odds with publishers and with Hollywood, and in recent years has removed himself from the mainstream, focusing on writing novels, esoteric pursuits, and the practice of a particular kind of Magic.  This is a slightly unusual episode.  It's a recording of an event we held last October as part of our London Month of the Dead festival.  It features, Alan in conversation with the writer Gary Lachman and the artist John Coulthard.  The occasion was the publication of 'The Bumper Book of Magic'. a kind of modern grimoire, which Alan had written with his friend the late Steve Moore (no relation), another writer of comics and fellow magic practitioner. It is a book that took 20 years to come to publication. John Coulthard was the main artist and designer of the book. Alan is somewhat of a recluse these days so it was great to have him with us to talk about the book, about his friend Steve Moore, about his practice of Magic, and about the unconscious, dreams, consciousness and creativity. Gary Lachman, a previous guest on this show, was once the bass player for Blondie before he put down the plectrum and  picked up the pen, gave up rock and roll for writing, and in the years since has become the U.K.'s foremost writer on the Esoteric John Coulthard is a wonderful graphic artist who worked with Alan on many projects and is a cultural phenomenon in his own right We also hear from the audience with questions to Alan about his practice of magic.

Matt Fraction really should be writing the new Batman comic, but instead he made the mistake of wondering, "What exactly is this comic strip Jeff and Brooke are talking about?" It's a dangerous question to pose to yourself. Even more so, as Matt discovered, if one makes the mistake of Googling this comic strip. It kind of opens a Pandora's box. Which is what happened, and the next thing Matt knew, he was reading years' worth of Chickweed Lanes. Seriously guys, he took pages of notes! After the deep immersion, he agreed to join us on the podcast to talk about the things he witnessed. That includes: couples going to TGI Fingerbang's, something known as "ffawnky mozm fimps," curious children who lift mommy's skirt, hetero-curious ballet dancers, buttholes that look like clown's mouths, falling in love with Nazis, vaginas (with and without crawfish), "knockout gams," how much Brooke Mc-El-Dee knows about menstruation (not much!), elderly men who produce ink when startled, the hypnotic sexiness of cat's buttholes, and a final strip so surprising, it floors Brooke Dillman, almost literally. And this after two of the earlier strips nearly killed her already! Along the way, we talk about Dilbert, Alan Moore, Gene Simmons, and Kansas City's most famous serial killer. Also Matt makes a really good point about Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's our largest episode ever and for a good reason! Drake! Dillman! Fraction! Let's go!

XY Planning Network (XYPN) founders Michael Kitces and Alan Moore saw a need to do financial planning differently. They developed XYPN to make financial planning more accessible by creating a turnkey advice and planning platform that currently supports and empowers more than 2,000 independent financial advisors to serve whomever they want, however they want. Arlene Moss, lead executive business coach at XYPN, coaches financial planners through the challenges that come with establishing and growing their practices. On this episode, we get into how XYPN coaches bring the key component of human connection to helping advisors power their practices.

Tubi? Jim Wynorski? Comic book movie? Sometimes I think we parody ourselves. Your Stupid Minds comes to you this time around with 1989's The Return of Swamp Thing, starring Heather Locklear, Louis Jourdan and Wynorski muse Monique Gabrielle. Picking up after the events of the last movie, as best we can surmise Swamp Thing killed Dr. Anton Arcane (Jourdan) but it didn't take, since he specializes in Ra's al Ghul style immortality practices. So Swamp Thing, a.k.a. Alec Holland, wanders around the Louisiana bayou campily beating up monsters and cajun caricatures. It vaguely resembles Alan Moore's run of the comic; as if someone recited major plot points from memory to the screenwriters while they watch TV. Meanwhile, Abby Arcane (Locklear) goes to her step-father's swamp compound in some vague attempt to learn more about her dead mother. She's met by Dr. Arcane's menagerie of 80s misfits: buxom British scientist Dr. Lana Zurrell (Sarah Douglas), asthmatic other scientist Dr. Rochelle (Ace Mask, who as far as we know is not a homunculus assembled from Jim Carrey movie titles) and mercenary Miss Poinsettia (Gabrielle). There's some plot point about using Abby's blood to create an immortality serum (since she has the "exact genetic code" of her mother, which is not how genetics work). Meanwhile some crawfish-fed local youths try to snap a picture of Swamp Thing using their dad's $5,000 camera. Will Swamp Thing save the day? Will he and Abby have sex after hallucinating off a flower he picked off his body? Can Swamp Thing drive a Jeep? You'll have to listen to find out!

In this episode, the hosts delve into the final volume of Alan Moore's 'Saga of the Swamp Thing,' exploring its transition from horror to science fiction, the introduction of new characters, and the narrative structure.

We discuss the epic encounter between comic book Wizard, Alan Moore and comic book King, Jack Kirby. Alan speaks at length about Kirby's influence and of the extraordinary tribute The Wizard made for The King!

This week on the show, we're sharing two interviews. First up, Dulce, a member of Companeros Inmigrantes en las Montanas en Accion, or CIMA, a local organizing and advocacy group by and for immigrants in western NC about her experience working for dignity and solidarity in light of the current and past administrations. More on CIMA can be found at CIMAWNC.Org Then, Ian speaks with Kristian Williams, author of Gang Politics, Resist Everything Except Temptation, and Our Enemies in Blue, among others, about his recent book, The Illuminist: Philosophical Explanations in the work of Alan Moore. The chat touches upon Moore's work and its anarchist underpinnings, his legacy in and out of comics, the necessity of imagination, and the possibilities that arise from death and disaster. The book is available from emergencyhearts.com, emergencyhearts.bandcamp.com, and kristianwilliams.com. You can find past interviews we've done with Kristian here.

Most folks know Alan Moore from his acclaimed works, WATCHMEN, FROM HELL, SWAMP THING, but many don't know of his significant  contributions to the GREEN LANTERN franchise. We shine the light on how Alan quietly transformed the legend & legacy of DC's Iconic Emerald Knights!
